Earwigs questions from Mad River Valley residents
Despite the name, earwigs have no interest in ears. They seek dark, moist hiding spots during the day and are harmless to humans, though their pincers can deliver a mild pinch.
Earwigs enter seeking moisture and shelter, especially during dry or cold periods. They often hitchhike on potted plants or enter through gaps near ground level.
We use botanical perimeter treatments, reduce harborage near foundations, and apply diatomaceous earth in problem areas. Habitat modification prevents reinfestation.
Earwigs can damage seedlings and flower petals but also eat aphids and other pests. Heavy populations near gardens may warrant treatment to protect vulnerable plants.
